| Off-Season wrenching.. getting started (woo)
Yea brewmaster, I wrenched on that can!
Well bike is no longer a bike, it is now a pile of parts. Tonight we dropped the motor out of the frame (can see it on framestand in background) and took everything else apart. The GSXR front end wasn't a direct swap, I need to replace the upper race and bearings, attempt that next week. Mounted up the GSXR rotors, tire, and wheel however and did some weight comparisons.
That VFR wheel didn't last long... got a Technomagnesio rear wheel coming in the mail. At least 5lbs lighter than stock. uNF! I can't wait to fuggin' ride this thing next season, it's going to handle like a dream.
Weight Comparisons:
F2 wheel, rotors, Pirelli 120 Supercorsa - 27.0 lbs
GSXR wheel, wave rotors, Pirelli 120 Supercorsa - 24.0 lbs
Flywheel and charging magnet - 6.5 lbs
Combined with the rear rotor, already dropped 10 lbs off the bike. Not including mag rear wheel... |
